Hollywood movies have always had the biggest budgets, the most well known stars, the most proficient technicians etc. But one thing the American film industry has never been able to figure out is how to make good sex movies. In the ‘60s and ‘70s European filmmakers turned out sex movie after sex movie, some of them classics, most not, but on the whole pretty hot stuff. This movie is pretty goofy in some ways but it carries a charge where it counts, just below waist level. It’s the story of a young widow (Eurosex goddess Catherine Spaak) who discovers that her sainted late husband had kept a specially outfitted apartment for his extramarital frolics. And what an apartment! Mirrors on every wall, secret cameras, built-in bondage playscape. She’s shocked, but intrigued. Thus begins a delirious sexual odyssey. She indulges her every desire until she finally finds the one man who can satisfy her weirdest, most desperate need. You won’t believe it. Originally distributed by Radley Metzger’s Audubon Films. Music by Armando Trovajoli. (Lars)
